Barred Owls In Hemlocks

The Central Park Owl that has a mark on its beak and that had been seen for a few month in Riverside Park, was in a Hemlock Tree today. (The owl that as been in the park longer, was also in a Hemlock Tree today.)

The owl that came from Riverside Park, was in a very visible location with lots of onlookers today.

As we’ve seen on other evenings, this owl can be in no rush to leave the roost area. It stayed near the roost and went to the ground to hunt. It didn’t like it caught anything but it was a solid attempt. The owl went back to a perch it had flown out to, and then went to a far tree before flying out of sight.
